Last updated: May 2026

This Privacy & Cookies Policy explains how Duggal Properties & Investments Ltd collects, uses and protects personal information when someone visits our website, contacts us, or deals with our business.

Duggal Properties & Investments Ltd is an online marketplace reseller. We purchase branded goods from distributors, wholesalers, suppliers and/or brands directly, and resell those goods through third-party online marketplaces.

This website is here to provide information about our business and to allow suppliers, distributors, brands, marketplaces, service providers and other business contacts to contact us. We do not currently sell products directly through this website, display product pages, or operate an online checkout through this website.

Unless clearly stated otherwise, Duggal Properties & Investments Ltd does not own the brands it sells and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or officially connected with any third-party brand owners.

Where we rely on consent, for example for certain optional communications or non-essential website cookies, you can withdraw your consent at any time.

6. Brand names and third-party rights

Duggal Properties & Investments Ltd may buy and sell genuine branded goods through third-party online marketplaces.

Any third-party brand names, product names, logos, trademarks or intellectual property remain the property of their respective owners.

References to third-party brands are used only to identify the goods we trade in or to manage legitimate business communications.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, Duggal Properties & Investments Ltd is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, authorised by, or officially connected with any third-party brand owner.

8. International transfers

Some third-party platforms, marketplaces, cloud systems, email providers or service providers may process personal information outside the United Kingdom.

Where this happens, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information is protected in accordance with applicable data protection law.

9. How long we keep personal information

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

  • complaint, dispute or legal records may be kept for up to 6 years, or longer where necessary in relation to legal claims or investigations.

Where information is no longer required, we will delete it, anonymise it, or securely archive it.

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction.

These steps may include:

  • password-protected systems;

  • restricted access to business email and website enquiries;

  • secure website hosting;

  • device and account security measures;

  • use of reputable IT and cloud service providers;

  • limiting access to information to people who need it for business purposes;

  • keeping records only for as long as necessary.

No website, email system or online platform can be guaranteed to be completely secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect the information we hold.
